Such substantive consolidation (other than for the purpose of implementing the Plan) will not affect the legal and corporate structures of the Substantively Consolidated Debtors, nor will such substantive consolidation affect or be deemed to affect any Intercompany Claim in any manner contrary to the Intercompany Claims Settlement, nor will such substantive consolidation be deemed to affect any Other Debtor or Claims against any Other Debtor. In addition, in connection with Confirmation, the Debtors will seek Bankruptcy Court approval of the substantive consolidation of KBC with the Substantively Consolidated Debtors solely in order to treat any Unsecured Claims against KBC, including the PBGC Claim and the Unsecured Claim of Sherwin Alumina, L.P. allowed as set forth in Section 2.16, as Claims in Subclass 9B for purposes of distributions to be made under the Plan.”
          The first sentence of Section 9.2 of the Plan is hereby amended to read as follows:
